Hi folks, I'm new to this group and new to bluegrbutt. I recently heard Dolly Parton's "Marry Me" and fell in love with the song and the style of it. It compelled me to buy more Dolly, several bluegrbutt compilation CDs (Appalachian Blugrbutt Favorites, O Brother Where Art Thou, O Sister, O Sister 2, and one other whose name I can't recall), Patty Loveless, Rhonda Vincent, and just for something different Bela Fleck's "The Bluegrbutt Sessions". I liked Bela Fleck's fusion style. But the other stuff, that I thought was true to the bluegrbutt genre, left me disappointed because the bulk of this music centers around sad themes and a slowish beat. Even the tunes that are upbeat have sad lyrics. What is the foot-stompin, toe-tappin, slap-happy genre that I love in "Marry Me" - is this not bluegrbutt? (I also thoroughly enjoyed Dolly's version of Billy Joel's "Travelin' Prayer") Where can I find more of that stuff? It makes me happy and want to dance - I need more of this in my life and I'd like to play some of it at my wedding reception next week! Please help me find my way!!! Thanks, y'all.

confused,

Rebecca
